Anna Paquin and Holliday Grainger are lovers in trailer for Tell It to the Bees

May 9, 2019 by Amie Cranswick

A poster and trailer have been released for the upcoming romantic drama Tell It to the Bees. Directed by Annabel Jankel, the film is based on Fiona Shaw’s 2009 novel of the same name and sees Anna Paquin and Holliday Grainger portraying secret lovers in 1950s Britain.

Dr. Jean Markham (Anna Paquin) returns to the town she left as a teenager to take over her late father’s medical practice. When a school-yard scuffle lands Charlie (Gregor Selkirk) in her surgery, she invites him to visit the hives in her garden and tell his secrets to the bees, as she once did. The new friendship between the boy and the bee keeper brings his mother Lydia (Holliday Grainger) into Jean’s world. In the sanctuary of the doctor’s house the two women find themselves dram to one another in a way that Jean recognizes and fears, and Lydia could never have expected. But, in 1950’s small-town Britain, their new secret can’t say hidden forever.

Tell It to the Bees is set for release on May 3rd in the U.S. and June 7th in the UK.
